Green Papaya Avial Kootan | Paccha Papaya Avial

This recipe for Green Papaya Avial Kootan makes its way to the blog courtesy my colleague, Srividya K. Another colleague got Paccha Papaya Thoran for lunch and the conversation turned to the uses of unripe Papaya. Srividya mentioned making Avial with it and so here I come with the recipe.

As I had never cooked with unripe Papaya ever before, I was a tad bit apprehensive about how this Paccha Papaya Avial would turn out. My fears, as it were, were unfounded and the Avial was just delicious with a mild flavour of the Papaya.

The success of this venture has also given me the impetus to try the Green Papaya Thoran soon. 🙂
